Chinese everywhere~

I felt like a foreign in Didactics today and I'll get on that later but first of all: Dear Lj, I've miss you so much this week! I've been sort of active on Twitter but that's only because I needed some contact with the internet besides glossaries and documents and more documents. In this moment I have lots of work from school but I'm so relax because today at noon we finally delivered the translation!! It's the first manual that I've ever translated and I think I mentioned somewhere that it was as part of an internship and a work between two. While the client has to talk with our contact it seems that I'll be paid so I' more than happy, the experience was definitely hard but as a first professional translation it was... well hard XD

It was hard because the first week of classes has been the hardest I've ever had in my university! December, you're so far away. Confidential sources have told me that it's intentional as they have changed almost every teacher around [also I'm having 2 technical-scientific classes this semester. Last week the worst text was a logarithm one and now I see chemistry in the horizon... Great] and the best of all it's that my French teacher that left a year ago to Paris came back and I'm having not one... but 2 classes with him! [You can notice the sarcasm right?] One in French and another in English, something I still find very weird XD More info about him may be found in some really old entries here, but having him teaching means more work to do. There were some problems with him too involving fake signatures that it's worth mentioning in the cuthere I knew he would come back 2 weeks before classes. He's the kind of teacher that I hate/love, love in the sense that he's a pretty good teacher, knows a lot of things and has great classes; hate because ... well... besides his attitude that sometimes irks many people [including me sometimes] he's so exigent that makes you cry, literally cry from what I've seen because sometimes he is too harsh in his critics if you're a sensitive person... As the information about his return leaked many - like 80% of my prom - were desperate because they thought they were going to fail and never graduate because of him since he had all the groups for a mandatory class this semester [talking about overreact] All this because everyone knows that he's the kind of teacher that gives a fuck if you're lazy, if you don't produce then he fails you. That's ok.... I mean, if you are studying, you have to right? But as many had also the wrong impression of him a letter to ask another teacher was written. The problem was the content of the letter, I almost sign too because I wanted to help a friend, and as the list to sign was not attached to it, almost no one had the chance to read it. The content was sooo wrong and he could have lost his job because of it... There was nothing about a new teacher for the class, they were almost asking to fire him with false arguments... I had the chance to read the letter myself because a coordinator ask me if I signed it or if I knew the people who did mainly because they were more than 30 signatures and they wanted to know if people signed knowing the content of the letter. At the end almost no one knew about the content [Always read before sign!] and there were even false signatures o_O The problem was getting serious but at the end the letter was discredit and no one said anything else. There was even a letter in favor of the teacher which hadn't as many signatures as the other one but said the truth... at the end my teacher is back, teaching almost everyone of the prom and I think with revenge... who knows... he will fail many anyway...Really, people need to understand that rumors are just rumors.

Anyway, today I'm very happy because that translation is over and now I can catch up with everything, from mangas and animes to Tumblr and Lj entries. About the Chinese, well today my class of Didactics [that has 9 or 10 students] duplicate itself because my university has welcomed 17 chinese students that came in order to form themselves as Spanish teachers. They are almost all girls since there's only 1 boy [recontra fashion x cierto!]. I've never heard a chinese speak Spanish so today was pretty nice because the accent is always fun to hear! They do have a good level of Spanish though :3  Funny fact: they learn the word roche today LOL

college, life
